While automoblllsm In lta present state
seems to ba ur.sultad for general army
transportation In the field, the recent texts
by tha signal corpa have demonstrated tha
practicability and advisability of adopting
aelf-propellod vehicles for special military
purposes not only In balloon, but tele
graph trains. Recent experiment In for
eign armies confirm our results.
All great nations have equipped their ar
mies with captive balloon trains. The In
dividual processes of manipulating these
are strictly guarded as military secrets.
Of oourse, ability to discover the move
ments and position of the enemy is sn ab
solute necessity of modern war. This can
be accurately accomplished by an operator
In a balloon 2,(00 or 1,000 feet above the
earth, lie can scan tha country round
with a good teleacope and telephone at
once to his army whatever he may see.
The value of this observation work has
been proved already In the Russo-Japanese
war. Experiments during that conflict In
the use of cameras in war balloons for the
purpose of furnishing views of the enemy's
camps and fortifications have not been so
successful. At the height at which such
pictures have had to be made it has proved
difficult to distinguish Russians from Jap
anese. . The Jfew Balloon Train.
Tha balloon train at Omaha barracks wtll
consist of three wugona for the carriage of
tube of compressed hydrogen, and one
wagon for the balloon and appliances. The
balloon wagon will carry a large reel or
drum, wound with a mile or two of cable.
Tha balloon having been transported to
any desired location In the field, It wtll ba
unpacked from the wagon, spread upon the
ground and filled by oonnectlng a stout hose
fed by the Iron tubes of compressed hydro
gen gas. The envelope having been Inflated,
what Is known aa the "maneuvering bar"
, will be attached to the end of the cable
wound on the reel wagon, and the neces
sary amount of cable will be paid out. The
height of the balloon above ground will be
regulated by the length of rope. The ob
server In the car will, from aloft, direct the
manipulation of tha balloon through a field
telephone. :
The equipment of the oar will consist of
an aneroid 'barometer, for measuring at
mospherlo pressure; a prlamatlo compass,
for finding direction; a telescope, field glass,
notebook and pencil, maps, of the country

In Wireless telegraphy.

may soon be relied upon for the purpose.
Our War Balloon Fieri.
Our urmy already has a fleet of three war
balloona. Two of these are pear-ehaped,
while the third is cylindrical. The latter i
new; in fact. It has never been Inflated In
this country. It Is of what U
known as the "dragon" type adopted
by the German army. Homo time
ago, while, in Europe, General Greet y
Inspected tho kaiser'a aerial fleet and be
came convinced of tho superior merits of
this type of balloou. He therefore pur
chased one from Lieutenant von Siegsfeld,
a Prussian officer, the Inventor. It is a
cylinder, seventy-tive feet long by twenty
five feet in diameter, and during flight is
poised at an angle of twenty degrees to
the horizontal or aliout that of the average
kite. In fact, the great vehicle Is known
also lis the "kite balloon, " and It possesses
all of the fninblned virtues suggested by
the name.
The fabtcr the wind blows the higher It
mounts the air, but the gas In Its envelope
keeps It aloft in u calm. It Is divided In
ternally by a diaphragm separating Its gas
etrvtloje, forward, from an air envelope,
aft. Tho latter is always kept stiff by the
external air pushing Into It. It presses the
movable dlnphraKm up against the gas en
velope, us the latter has a tendency to grow
flabby through decreasing; ; -.--nire of the
upper air heights. The nev. j.iiloon has a
tall or rudder, which curls up over Its back
after the fashion of the squirrel's caudal
appendage. It Is covered by an envelope of
cloth doubled, treated with rubber and dyed
bright yellow, which coloring best Insures
protection against the chemical rays of the
sun.
Roand Balloons In Disfavor.
Tho army will probably discontinue Its
use of the pear-shaped and cylindrical
types of war balloons. In a high wind It U
well-nigh Impossible to elevate them above
the danger-level. Dipping down over an en
emy's territory as the result of a sudden
squall they would probably be punctured
by a gun or even captured. Moreover, the
envelopes of these old-fashioned one-compartment
balloons loosen so, as they mount
into altitudes of decreasing atmospheric
pressure, that their aides often cave in and
offer to the wind a sail surface.
The new war balloon hits a capacity of
22.000 cublo feet of hydrogen. Given Its
full contents It will carry one observer to
a height of 1,090 yards, two observers, 43ti
yards.
Its usual crew will be two men one an
experienced aeronaut, controlling the valve
ropes, anchor and snnd bags; the other, the
observer, manipulating the equipment de
scribed. For very high observation, recon
noissance or signal work over mountains,
hills, forests, other obstructions or large
open spaces It will be necessary to lessen
the car's weight to a minimum and reduce
the complement to one passenger, combin
ing the functions of aeronaut and observer.
Emergencies demanding a hasty change
of the Held of action "and forbidding the
usual delay of emptying the gas receptacle
before the balloon is moved will further
prove the great superiority of the new air
ship over the old type. Serious difficulties
present themselves during attempts to haul
inflated pear-shaped balloons from place to
place, whereas, on account of lta elongated,
cylindrical form and shallow diameter, the
new craft may be strapped snugly to the
platform of the balloon wagon, thus pre
senting little resistance to the wind during
a forced march or hurried retreat. Or. when
held flat against the ground, fully Inflated,
It can be much better hidden from the ene
my's guns than lta bulky and round prede
cessors with their much more conspicuous
target surface.
The hydrogen will be compressed Into the
hundreds of Iron tubes, each about e:ght
feet long and three Inches In diameter, at a
pressure of 2,000 pounds to Ihe square inch
For full Inflation . tho new balloon will re
quire the contents of 160 such tubes.
May Throw Kxploslvea.
It will be remembered that during the
peace conference at The Hague Captain
Atahun. our delegate, opposed the prohibi
tions relating to the dropping of explosives
from balloona. Our delegation regarded
this act of war as no more Inhumane than
blowing up an enemy from below by means
of submarine torpedoes. We also refused
to refrain from using shells which on ex
ploding diffused asphyxiating gases. If
General Greely has in mind any balloon ex
periments along these lines he Is withhold
ing their details as a part of his many war
secrets. It is estimated that fifty pounds
of dynamite dropped from a war balloon
would nil from the face of the ocean even
the liirKest battleship within 204 feet of the
explosion.
The larger of our cylindrical war balloons
Is forty feet In diameter and has a capacity
of 14,000 cublo feet of gas. It will oary four
men. The smaller holds 13.000 cublo feet and
carries three men, with all necessary signal
apparatus. The envelopes are of gold-beaters'
skins, a membrane taken from the en
trails of the bullock and subjected to
various stages of curing1. One animal fur
nlahea a piece about fifteen by twenty-fouv
Inches In dimensions. If you are an apt
mathematician you can figure out how
many dead bullocks are represented In these
two balloons.
Commands View of 180 Miles.
In future wars Involving our forces each
of our balloona will serve aa the far-seeing
eye of the commander of our land forces.
When flying oi ly 400 yards above the earth
It will command a view of the horizon fifty
miles away hence everything within a di
ameter of loo miles on a clear day and over
level country.
The prototype of our new war balloon
was lately flown from a German man-of-war
with great success. The value of this
experiment was the demonstration, beyond
a doubt, that such a craft Is useful for ob
servation purposes to the navy as well aa to
the army. Among the many naval uses te
which war balloons have lately been put In
Europe Is for lifting large bodies of soldiers
across rivers not spanned by bridges. The
balloons are held above midstream while
the soldiers swing themselves across on
many ropes suspended from the car.
The French have demonstrated that the
safety of a war balloon depends upon Its
color as well as Its height, during an as
sault from a hostile battery. At a height
of about two miles the French balloons, la
a practice drill, could be hit only twice out
of 100 shots by a 120-mllllmeter gun, steadily
aimed- Pale blue balloons could be least
readily seen against the sky. But Prussian
experiments Indicate that yellow balloon,
like that added to our aerial fleet, are the
ninet durable.
Whether General Oreely will seek to ao
qulre a dirigible balloon or so-called air
ship for his fleet depends upon ths success
of future experiments by such men as Le
baudy and Bantoa-Dumont. The French
army has claimed for several years to have
solved the problem of steering and propel
ling war balloons, but the world has not
been allowed to Judge of the suooess of
these experiments. Washington Star.
OPENS IP LARGE QUESTION
Coop r-Quarles Bill Has "Wider Scop Than
at First Supposed.
RAILROAD RATES COMrLICATED PROBLEMS
Plan of Senator Sewlaiarla for om
mlsslon to Investigate nbject
Is Gaining Knot In
(gitrrii,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-(Special.)-At-tention
of senators and members of the
house Is being forcefully drawn to the
fart that the scope of the Cooper-tiuaries
bill, conferring on the Interstate Commerce
commission the power to make railroad
rates under certain conditions and re
strictions. Is very much greater than its
advocates have represented and probably
much greater than they, themselves, be
lieved. In the hearing given E. I. Hacon,
chairman of the organization of shippers
pushing this bill, by the house comhiittee
on interstate commerce on Friday, Mr.
Hacon admitted that to change any rate
complained of, all related rates. In Justice
to the railroads and shippers, must also be
proportionately altered and Representative
Mann showed that under such authority.
which the commission once brlleved Itscir
to possess, it had undertaken to change
at one time, the 'rate on every article
shipped to every point east of the Mis
sissippi river and south of the Ohio and
the Potomac, being 2,000 rates In all. Thus,
on one complaint, the commission under
took to establish the rate to one-fourth
of the country, which would necessarily
affect thousands of other rates connected
with and partially dependent on the rates
so established.
The difficulty of conferring on the com
mission authority over any rates and at the
ime time to nvold granting the "general
authority to fix railroad rates," which
President Roosevelt thinks unwise, is
rapidly loading to the belief that If con
gress Is to deal with the subject at all It
must be on broad lines and In such a man
ner that the legislation enacted will sever
all points In question. Because of the
growth of this feeling the resolutions In
troduced by Senator Newlands are being
given considerable attention, especially
among the members of the senate com
mittee on Interstate commerce, of which he
Is a member. While no one expects that
Senator Newlands" resolution will be
adopted In full, there are certain proposi
tions advanced by him that will probably
be incorporated In any bill or resolution re
ported from the senate committee. The
bigness of this question Is appealing to con
gress and the belief Is prevalent that It Is
nn Impossibility for congress to deal with
such an enormous subject In the short time
remaining of this session.
Xrwlnnda Idea Gains Favor.
The question is therefore presented
whether it shall go over until the next
session of congress, whether nn extra ses
sion shall bo called or whether the whole
matter shall bo referred to a commission
to Investigate during the recess and report
next December. Senator Newlands pro
poses such a commission and the idea Is
gaining headway. Although commission
are not much In favor at the present, the
Impression Is growing that at a regular
session It would be too great a hardship to
expect the members of the two committees
to attend1 the numerous hearings and de
Vote the necessary time to the Intelligent
consideration of a subject of such magni
tude, In addition to their .other congres
sional duties. The president might call an
extra session for the purpose, but there
would be much complaint from the other
senators and members If kept here for
months pending the deliberations of the
two committees. Therefore, It is not un
likely that congress will shift the burden
of taking testimony and of digesting and
rnalyzlng It to a commission, as suggested
by Mr. Newlands. In this case the per
sonnel of such a .commission would be
selected with great care, and he suggests
Ave members of the senate, five of the
next house, with four others not members
of congress, one experienced; In railroad
traffic management, one an expert In trans- j
portatlon, the third an expert In transpor
tation law and the fourth to represent the j
Department of Justice.
Tho presence of outsiders on this com
muiison does not appeal to Borne members
of the committee, as it is thought that to
make the commission effective and that Its
recommendations should carry weight with
congress. It should be composed exclusively
of senators and representatives, as was the
case with the shipping commission. Yet It
Is recognised that the .presence of such
civilians, aa suggested by Senator New
lands, would be of great value. If they acted
merely In an advisory capacity. Some think
that five members from each house Is too
limited a number and it is proposed the
membership should be extended to include
tho members of the house and senate com
mittees under whose Jurisdiction this sub
ject will be, thus obviating the nece-slty
of having further hearings before the two
committees. This may be done either 1 y
the crsitlon of a Jolnr commission or by 1 ev
olutions authorizing the two committees to
sit during the recess. Although after March
4 there will be no house, the difficulty could
be overcome by a resolution authorizing
Speaker Cannon to appoint a commission
on the part of the house to consist of sev
enteen members-elect, which would be the
next committee on Interstate commerce.

practice thnn any other city in the coun
try, swing to the fact that there is reason
to believe that the first model range to be
constructed under the provisions cf the 1 11:
will be located In the District of Columbia
or nearby. A rifle range conveys the Idea
primarily cf a large tract of land, with rx- :
tensive rifle butts and with either the hill' j
or s-a as a background to rrovlde for stray j
bullets. To locate such a ranpe In the DIs-
trlct of Columbia would rrobably lie an lm-
possibility, because of the large o'ltlay
which would be required for the acquiring j
of a suitable tract of land, to say nothing
of the alarm which might 1 fe'.t t ecause j
of the possibility of stray bullets. It Is not j
believed, however, that it will be necessary
In order to construct such a model ran"
for the National Hoard for the Promotion
I of Rifle Practice to build a ranse on tho
order of those at Creednioor, Fort Rllry
nnd Seagirt. N. J.. as considerable s'.kco
has h eti attained with what nro known ;is
"s-.ifety rlflo ranges" Those arp much 1n
vogue In Europe and one Ivis recent 'y In i n
constructed at the Presidio In California,
and tho results obtained are said to lie vory
satisfactory. In brief, the safest rlMornnci'
consists of nn oblong space several hundred
yards In length, enclosed with hoivy brl k
or stone walls. One end U reserved for tlio
marksmen nnd the other for the targets.
Between the two are a number cf parti
tions constructed of Iron with opining so
nrranged that the ninrkeman sees nothing
before him except the target. Should his
gun be so aimed that tho bullet will not
strike a target. It must be caught by one
of the Intersecting Iron partitions, so there
Is no chance whatever for a bullet to leave
the gallery between the marksman and
target. Behind the target Is a heavy
backstop, which prevents the bullets from
passing out Into the open country. By
means of rests and tables the marksman
can shoot either In a kneeling or prone
position or standing.
Of course, reduced charges are used nnd
practlco can bo had, for all ordinary pur
poses, the same as at ftio and l.ono
yards, on 2' or Sim-yard- "safety ranges."
in t-uropo those ranges are built In towns
and villages nnd no re;iorts of accidents
resulting therefrom have been received.
One of the objects In constructing such n
range In or near Washington would be
that the members of congress might have
an opportunity of Inspecting the same nt
any time and to see how rifle practice is
conducted.
